SF follows Berkeley to ban natural gas. So instead of making housing cheaper & more affordable, it now shuts off a rather cheap source of energy & force people to use electricity, which is unstable & expensive in California.

Haha.

California net electric generation by source:

#1 Natural Gas.

SF just banned that. I wonder what those people were thinking. Btw, it makes it more expensive for the poor as it forces people to go 100% electric, which derives most of its generation by, wait for it: NATURAL GAS!

Just think about it. California #1 source of electricity production is natural gas but then Berkeley & SF just banned that for new construction.

Still use natural gas via electricity but will be more expensive.

Meanwhile #1 energy consumption is natural gas. Genius at work.

Let me show you the economics behind SF & Berkeley decision, which no doubt these people think of themselves as progressives.

CA electricity prices are HIGHER than the US average but CA natural gas is LOWER.

Cheap source of energy & #1 consumption & #1 in source of electricity.

SF just told POOR PEOPLE that they have to PAY HIGHER ENERGY PRICES so that leaders can say they are green.

But in fact the #1 source of electricity is natural gas. So why ban natural gas if it's economical for people?

Now u know why ur bills are too high. Progressives taxing.

Conclusion: Instead of making it easier to build housing, SF is adding more regulations, on top of mandatory solar panels, to now BANNING NATURAL GAS.

Wonder why housing + living costs are so expensive & supply of housing is so low & homelessness & poverty the highest in the USA
